1) Upgrade bios to A04 (Store the update binary in /boot/efi or on a USB flash drive and use the F12 key during bootup to update). 2) Download linux headers and broadcom-wl driver module tarball to another computer and transfer to the XPS by usb/flashcard. I assume I need to install these in the live arch environment to give me access to the internet, then go to step 3), continue installation, and remember to install the drivers in chroot as well... I am not going to use the broadcom-wl-dkms as I don't fancy the potential hassle and don't expect to be upgrading the kernel super-often (though maybe in Arch I'll be obliged to). See the broadcom arch wiki page for more info and troubleshooting. There's useful stuff on the article's discussion page, too. I should say *potentially* useful stuff.

start Looking to update the firmware on the 8bitdo. http://www.fc30.com/eng/Firmware-update.html & http://download.8bitdo.com/Manual/FC30_Pro_Manual_ENG_v1.0.pdf Have nothing for Linux http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2016/08/update-8bitdo-firmware-linux suggests fwup update fwup is in the AUR but depends on fwupdate which in turn depends on pesign did it work? Of course not! fwupd gives command not found. Looked at the github page and tried fwupdmgr get-devices instead: Error calling StartServiceByName for org.freedesktop.fwupd: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.TimedOut: Failed to activate service 'org.freedesktop.fwupd': timed out next back to the AUR page where a comment describes my issue but the package maintainer’s proposed solution (comment out a line in some file somewhere) does not work. Am abandoning this approach for now. Not priority. I thought I had updat...
